Hammering along the C road from Cartmel to the A590 (Egg Pudding Lane) I apexed one RH corner to find a hedge cutter astride both lanes (narrow).  The brake assist, traction control and abs all came on and the GTI avoided the numpty (I know him well).  I don't like the steering on the GTI but when the chips are down it works really well.   

If I'd hit him I would most likely survive in a Golf.  Not sure about a Lupo.

....But that's the kind of thinking that mums justify for their huge SUV's. :sad:

How can you not like the steering??? Think some driving lessons are in order Eggbert!

There's a Polo GTI now isn't there?

Been out for a while, its like someone has got a MK5 GTI and shrunk it lol





If memory servers its a 1.8T 180bhp. Quite a funky little car but expensive for what it is.

Yeah they were a limited edition and I think they only did them for the LHD market! Shame as I think a nice grey or black one would look mint!

Yeah, there are quite a few of these new Polo GTIs at the Brands Hatch meet, some of them look really smart. When it was dark I actually confused one with a MK5 Golf GTI  :shocked:
